Trouble thinking outside of the box? Wondering why it's even necessary to think outside of the box? Trying to discover who you are as a writer? Then read on...

Glenn tackles a common issue that writers face, particularly when first starting out in the business. Here is a question sent in by a FaithWriters member. Maybe you can relate:

Q: I have always struggled with thinking outside-the-box. Writing fiction, especially for things like the Writing Challenge at Faithwriters, often demands some kind of outside-the-box perspective. Yet because I find myself at a loss to create something uniquely original, I frequently find myself reverting back to the familiar as far as plot lines, setting, characters, etc. Could you share any wisdom that might help writers like myself?
